does anyone know if the cooler ducts can fit on the Limited? I'm guessing minor cutting is involved. does anyone have a picture or illustration of the SRT bumper with the ducts installed?

[Robert Palmer]

You are going to need holes on the left and right side of the bumper. And these holes have to be seen when you are looking at the front of the Jeep, at its bumper.

[Scottina06]

does anyone know if the cooler ducts can fit on the Limited? I'm guessing minor cutting is involved. does anyone have a picture or illustration of the SRT bumper with the ducts installed?


they are not a direct fit....not saying they cant be modded to work. The front of the coolers use push pins to hold them to the bumper....youd have to figure a way to mount them and where to mount them.

[suzieque]

thanks guys, I'm guessing the input for the ducts is an opening next the SRT fog lights? If so, then the Limited would need more cutting than I want to do. :)

[Scottina06]

yes....the coolers attach there and on the front frame rail

[jcostri09]

Has anyone had success swapping an 05 speedometer cluster with an SRT8 cluster?

[HEMIBeast]

From what I understand it's alot of work. But Im sure can be done.

[Scottina06]

it can be done easily...the cluster cover just pulls off and the cluster is held in by screws. But...everything on the SRT cluster will not work. I forget what...maybe oil pressure. But you will also get warning lights......

[HEMIBeast]

lol... I knew it was something like that. So long ago though. I remember someone trying it. Was it you Scott?

[Scottina06]

yeah...tried it. But someone with a 3.7 tried it before me.....

[05srt12b]

what about the new overland or deisels? can you swap out those gauges?

[Scottina06]

I tried an 08 diesel in my 06 and got all kinds of check gauges warning, the mph didnt work, gas gauge etc.. The rpms worked perfect though...LOL I have some pics somewhere.....

[05wkguy]

Are the brake cooling ducts REQUIRED to put the front bumper on? I'd imagine not and would be a way to save a few bucks.

[Scottina06]

they are not bro....they are cool though if you have find a set for a good price

[KBB514]

SCOTT got a question are these the part num frm that site and a total cost plz

[Scottina06]

www.justforjeeps.com has the total price

Is the SRT8 grill required?

[Black Betty]

Hey guys, I gotta 5.7. Can anyone tell me what parts from the 6.1 will interchange with the 5.7? Just bought my 06 WK a week ago and I'm a ford head and so/ so Chevy. I know that some parts form the Chevy LS blocks can interchange parts ie a 6.0 intake on a 5.3 block etc. But I'm just breaking into the world of new school Hemi, so I'm having to start from square one with Mopar.

[Scottina06]

I believe the 6.1 heads will swap in...but unless you find them real cheap...I would go with a 5.7 race ported head. The 6.1 exhaust manifolds will also swap in...but they are larger than the 5.7 and there may be a few modifications needed to swap them in.

[Escape]

Black Betty,

What all do you want to swap over?

The heads have a different chamber (Bore size) and will need to be matched/machined, the intake (larger) port and exhaust (larger and shaped differently, D not rounded square type) ports are different also and will need work if you want them to fit and work properly.

Get some 5.7 race heads like Scott said. Leave the intake Mani alone it is sweet as is. Get a set of AR Headers and a CAI and you will be on your way to mod fever...lol. The 6.1 cam (you will need the 6.1 push rods also) and crank will fit and MDS will work if you want to keep it. I only use mine on the highway.

The brake duct coolers fit on mine (05) just fine (holes were already there) no modifications needed, might be different on later years though.

[AB Jeepster]

Found a site on the net that seems to indicate I can purchase just the mesh for an SRT8 grille. How cool is that? http://www.jeepoemparts.com/oem-jeep-parts.html Think I will be buying it when I get back from AZ.

Just curious. I'm not doing any diggin into the motor at the moment, just didn't know if there was anything that could be swapped and if so if it would be worth it. I'm still torn at this point where I want to take my vehicle. I mean it is a jeep and it's sweet to take a WK and make a Wrangler owner take notice when you take your uber equipped vehicle off the beaten path. Then again I love the shit outta the SRT8 and think it's a sexy beast. If I can find a happy median of decent offoad warrior when I want and clean street sexiness, I think I'd be content. I'd say I lean more towards SRT8 and performance, but it is a Jeep and would be cool to show people that WKs aren't made for grocery getting.

[AB Jeepster]

I thought it was the upper one Scott... the schmatics point to the upper... at least that is what my retinas told my brain..... But, upon closer scruitiny, it appears I was foolish to question a moderator... https://www.jeepoemparts.com/jeep-grand-cherokee-parts.html If you go to front bumper and click on it or the grille, should show you a schematic. thought since the mesh appeared to be above the fogs, it was the upper. Didn't account for the exploded view. Should have remembered that from my drafting days.

[Scottina06]

its ok bro....I did the same thing once. But you have to go to Grille and then select the color you want. which you would select the cheapest and then have it painted to match or switch your painted section out.

[STINRAY]

Hi guys, I am new to this forum and just traded my Black WH 08 CRD Overland for an White 05 WK and someting extra and considering to mood to an SRT clone,
??? my question is if the front and rear bumper covers will align with the original fender flares and what aftermarket exhaust will fit the new rear middle exhaust output, and if the original grille will fit
Thanks

[Scottina06]

the front and rear bumpers fit perfect....but there are some other parts needed for both bumpers. Foe the exhaust....the cheapest alternative is to use a stock SRT exhaust. There is a how to for both of these mods in the how to forum

[JETLIFE]

is the rear bumper absorber needed when switching from a limited rear bumper to an SRT rear bumper?

My dealer is telling me they're back ordered, and I have a bumper freshly painted waiting to get put on!!

[Scottina06]

IMO Joel....it is. Unless you want to hack up the non-SRT absorber...and then it doesnt fit perfect

[JETLIFE]

Thanks Scott, Any idea of where I can get one? Preferably a new one rather than giving me the car-part.com link! lol
:thumbsup:

[Scottina06]

justforjeeps.com

[JETLIFE]

Checked there already. No option to add to cart

http://i61.photobucket.com/albums/h68/cleandurango/Untitled.png

[Scottina06]

that cant be right....the srt absorbers are like $380. I would call them and speak with Peter. be sure to mention you are with JG.

[JETLIFE]

My dealer also told me it's $90 CAD. So something isn't right, I have to figure this out!

[Scottina06]

yep....I paid over $400 from justforjeeps

[JETLIFE]

Well, I don't know what's goin' on now. My old roommate works in parts at my local Jeep dealer. I explained to him that something is messed up with the pricing or we have the wrong part. He assured me that it's the right part and he searched all SRT8 years with the same result. He found one about an hour away from me, and he's having it shipped here.

So I hope he found the right part, and he isn't shipping some random part that I don't need!

[Scottina06]

cool....theyve really dropped in price! I have a pic on here somewhere of the difference. The SRT absorber has cups on the end that the rear fogs fit into

[John_R]

I don't care for clones myself (otherwise just would buy one :) ), or the srt-8 in general (for me...this is not my performance vehicle but needed a 4x4) but a couple items would be neat on the WK and didn't see them listed:

seats (but is there a way to remove logo? do they bolt right in?)

and the pedals (are these just overlays or replaces them? if overlays, I'll just make something)

I'm sure there are other cool little tidbits that would be neat if you can find them cheap enough.

the seats bolt in to all WK's...but the wiring may be a different story. depends on what year the seats are and what year the wk they are going in...
Thee logo is embroidered into the seats

the pedals are overlays

[pipe579]

I just bouht the front and rear bumper off a jeep srt8. Will these parts fit in a 2010 laredo???

[Scottina06]

as long as the front bumper is am 08-10 srt front bumper...youll be good. the rear bumper hasnt changed.

[rufdod]

back to the absorber, i said the same thing when i ordered from justforjeeps, i saw that it was only like 80 and i said i thought they were around 400, he said he wasnt sure but they must have come down in price a lot so i wasnt gonna argue ha. This was late last year though, they were out for a while...maybe they are again

[pipe579]

the front bumper is actually from a 2006 srt8? will I have any trouble ??

[Scottina06]

you wont have any problems installing it....other than needing an 06 front bumper support(they are only like $25). But you will have a space under the headlamps becasue your lamps are scallopped(rounded) on the bottom whereas the 06-07 SRT's have headlamps that are flat on the bottoms.

[pipe579]

so wat do you recommend. Should I sell this bumper and get an 08-10 or should I work with the one I have. Will the space look bad?? My other question is .. if I install just the front bumper and put the SRT rims and lower it without putting the rear bumper or the side skirts, will it look bad ??

[Scottina06]

I would get the 08-10 bumper. I trid it with the 06 bumper and 08 headlights. I made a filler piece and had it painted to match and it just didnt satisfy me. I would also get the SRT skirts...they look much, much better!

[USN_BlackWK]

Speaking of side skirts. I have a S-Limited with the SRT8 side skirts (whatever made Jeep put them on a WK with QD-II and full skids is beyond me) and will be selling them, but have absolutely no clue what the going rate is for slightly (like 500ish miles) used painted (Inferno red crystal pearl coat) skirts as I'm not really into the SRT8 crowd. This is not a for-sale add, and they are not yet even for sale, just wondering what a fair asking price would be?

[Scottina06]

they may have pics at justforjeeps.com

[ChrisWk]

Well I looked but i could not find it. I am one the first few who did the SRT conversion, I am thinking about updating and doing a 08-10 front bumper conversion SRT . What parts do I need to make it work with what I have now on my 07 SRT bumper? As for the headlights can I use the 08-10 headlights standard ones not the HID ones will they plug and play.

you need the 08 bumper, headlights, grill and front bumper bracket. Any 08-10 headlights will do....but Im not sure if the non-HID headlights will be plug and play.

[jugganator]

my 2006 3.0CRD overland bumper has been damaged, the parking censor has cracked, and the step-pad has been pushed in by the damage caused. (some twat drove into it while i was at the mall).

Now, how easy, and expensive would it be to fit a SRT8 rear bumper with the chrome parking strip? i know one obvious difference is the exhaust on the SRT is in the middle, but is there anything else that would prevent this?

[robpp]

no. mounts right up.
you already have the bumper fog wiring.......

and you will have the exhaust cut out area.

[Scottina06]

Im not 100% sure on the WH......but the rear absorbers may be different. In the US they are because of the rear fogs the SRT bumper has. But on the WH...you have the rear fogs too...so you may be good in that area. Should be an easy upgrade for you.

[jugganator]

Sounds simple, but tbh my DIY skills are somewhat limited. That leads me on to some other questions:

Costing, do you guys know of a ball park figure? bumper, parking strip etc.

how much would it cost to change the exhaust so it looks like the SRT? and if i didnt do that, would it look weird with an empty SRT exhaust cut out?

Thanks guys.

well...you would just need the cover...has you already have the parking strip and rear fogs. prices for the SRT rear bumper here in the US are $300-$400 for a used one. I saw one on ebay with slight damage for $215.....and a completely painted to match NEW OEM rear for $799.
The exhaust is easy...but you need to find an SRT owner thats upgraded his stock exhaust and grab his stocker. From there...there is a how to in the how to forum. its fairly simple for a decent exhaust shop.

Thanks Scott, you guys really are quite amazing. Dont know where I would be without your input and advice.

Just a shame we do not have the same network over here in England.

off to spend the rest of my work day to look for a SRT bumper!

But before I go, if i did find a SRT bumper, and left the exhaust as is for now, would that cause any damager? my Jeeps a 06 3.0CRD Overland.

[Scottina06]

you may have to change the routing of your exhaust tip so it doesnt burn ot melt the SRT bumper. The srt bumper sets lower than the stock wk bumper and the exhaust heat will melt it if its close

[09RiverRock]

Do the SRT disc brakes/calipers fit the non-SRTs as well? Or are they the same size? (which I doubt)

[Scottina06]

completely different....but they can be added. I added the brembo setup a couple years ago. Theres a thread here somewhere....lol

[09RiverRock]

I'll search for the thread, but how hard was it? What's the size of the SRTs?

[Scottina06]

Its not hard...but expensive...even with used parts...plus you'll have to upgrade wheels as the brembos are much larger. Heres the parts you need...

2-front SRT knuckles(spindles)
front/rear Brembo calipers-loaded and with all bolts
all four SRT rotors
front and rear brake lines with copper washers
2-rear adapter plates

[300cGCSRT8]

Whats up peeps! I have a buddy that has a 06 Limited Hemi 5.7. He put 08 headlights, 08 SRT8 Front bumper and 08 Non SRT8 Chrome Grill. He claims that when he closes the hood the front grill sticks out at the bottom. Also said that the bumper has nowhere to attach to at the top, like where you put the clip/screws in, or something like that. Lol.. Has anyone put 08-up SRT8 front bumper kit on there 05-07?? Do you think its the 08 Non SRT8 grill?? Any input would be appreciated! Thanks

[Mike_Levy]

If the grille sticks out then he doesn't have the tabs lined up right. They keep it from coming out.

[XXX007]

He needs the 08-10 bumper support they are different than the 05-07 and that is where the bumper fits into...just did mine friday, it is the black plastic piece held on by the 5 13mm bolts

[silicastorm]

[JeepKid]

Checkin em out. Thanks.

[Hemix57]

Hi guys, are there any part numbers for front and rear SRT bumpers that can place the stock park distance sensors for my WH 2006 GC overland?

[Scottina06]

you'll have to get the Euro SRT bumpers

[Hemix57]

Thanks for the information.
Does anyone know these part numbers!?
I only have a parts list for US model...

[ckrawler]

has anyone ever put srt8 seats in a non srt8? i just bought a set and i am curious if the connectors will plug in. the passenger seat is also power but mine is not. Is there a connector under the seat?

Also, the srt8 seats have heaters, you guys have any info on this?

[Scottina06]

what year is your jeep and what year are the seats?

The heat will not work without major surgery and a custom harness

[White Chocolate]

Scott. the part I have listed below, are they just rivets? Can I just buy rivets from a local shop here for cheaper, or do I NEED these ones??

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c214/klutchewsky/untitled-1.jpg

[Scottina06]

yes....they are the rivets. Didnt the package you bought from 08hemijeep include these?

[White Chocolate]

yes....they are the rivets. Didnt the package you bought from 08hemijeep include these?

Unfortunately not, they were not included in the sale.

So now I'm debating if I buy rivets from a shop local, or if I buy the ones from Justforjeeps

[Scottina06]

I bought some aftermarket push pins from my dealer for like 10 cents each...same thing as the oem push pins

thanks buddy, this will probably save me a few bucks. Where exactly on the bumper do these rivets go?

I think I have an idea, but I thought I'd ask.

[Scottina06]

they push up through the bumper cover into that lower bumper support valence.

[White Chocolate]

Ahhhh gotchya, I know what your talking about!! Thanks buddy, Ill find some cheaper ones :)

[smallfish]

these holes have to be seen when you are looking at the front of the Jeep, at its bumper.

[4.whoa]

Ive seen 3 ('07+by the tails)laredo's that look like they had srt roof rails(otherwise stock),but i don't see grandma put'n those on, so are they different then the srt's?

[Scottina06]

some base laredos had the roof rack delete moldings

[smallfish]

it can be done easily...the cluster cover just pulls off and the cluster is held in by screws

Is part #4 "Cover Support" different for a 2008 SRT? (I have a 2007)

If it is, I need to get a new one, anyone got a part number for the 2008-2010 one?

I was trying to put my bumper on and yea, seems like they might have changed it a little.

[Scottina06]

Yes......#4 is different on 08-10....

thanks, ordering a new one now.

Part number for that piece Scott? Thanks - im searching around for it as well.

[jeepgcoman]

I just picked up 07 SRT front and rear bumpers for my 06 Overland. I understand they "almost" bolt right on, but I need some bumper absorbers?? for the rear and supports?? for the front. Can someone enlighten me on exactly what I actually need? The bumpers came complete, but with no mounting hardware. I've been through this and the "How To" threads, and still have a few questions. I also haven't been under the WK yet to scope things out. Thought I'd check here first.

1. One post indicated that the wiring and plugs for the rear bumper lights is on the existing wire loom. Is that true? If so, where are they hiding?
2. The rear "bumper absorbers (I guess there are two) are different than the standard WK? Do I need these or what's the best thing to do???
3. Can some/all of the supports/extensions be fabricated or should I go to the dealer or justforjeeps? Exactly what would I need to fabricate or purchase? Part numbers?
4. I am planning to modify the mounting for the stock hitch. Anyone done this? Looks like I might just need a heavy duty extension plate to lower it. Any thoughts, or has anyone done this?
5. What has some that have done this mod. done with the lower plastic SRT grill? Change, leave it alone, modify, paint a contrasting color, remove, or ?
6. Is everything going to be fairly obvious when I set them in place, or will I encounter any mysteries on how/what to do to properly secure them?
7. Are the red rear SRT lights just running lights (I noticed single filament bulbs),brake lights, or ??
8. Any other hints or parts needed or recommended?

The bumpers are being painted now, so I should be installing within the week, unless I need other stuff. I appreciate any help, or shortcuts.

the absorder is the actual "bumper" what you have are the covers.
1. it is in the trailer wiring under the vehicle, i think all grand cherokees have them but may not be factory activated unless you have a tow hitch. you will need to buy a harness from lips to connect the lights to the trailer wiring.

2. the rear srt absorber is wider than the stock absorber, you need to buy one.

3. the stuff is not that expensive, have your dealer order it.

4. you can buy a lower hitch to mount on it.

5. most leave it black to match the upper grille.

6. its all plug and play so it is very obvious.

7. they dont work without the harness from lips. they will work as brake lights and turn signals.

[jeepgcoman]

Thanks, Swede. I think the absorber is there. Does it look like a removeable plastic framework? In any case there is more there than just the cover. Is there a cover on the front too? I didn't pay much attention to it, so I am not sure if it has the same type arrangement.

I understand that the stock SRT hitch is rated much lower (~3000 lb. vs. ~7000 lb.) than the stock WK one. I would like to keep the higher rated unit, so I may just build a meaty adapter for it.

If I can't find the wiring I'll probably tap into either the running or brake lights. Thoughts?

The stock lower grill is kind of cheesy looking, that's why I asked. Don't know what I'll do yet. I am going to keep the stock Overland grill though.

What is "Lips"? Do you have a web address, and do I need part numbers or ?

How do I know which extensions/supports I need? Part numbers or visual parts breakdown, so I can see what's there?

Thanks for your help.

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

the overland grille is the same as the srt, just chrome instead of painted

get the harness here, lights wont work without it........

[Scottina06]

there are full part numbers and a list of parts needed in the how to forum

[crashzerozz]

nice list very helpful. thank you

[Hckyplyr71]

Very helpful so far!!

[Scottina06]

no problem

[JeepCoop]

Hey Scott, how hard would it be to put a SRT8 rear bumper on my wk?! I wanna put some rear fog (clear) lights in there for the night off roading sessions and for reversing :)

[bboerstler5]

anyone have a rough idea how much it would cost to do the srt conversion on just the front end (bumper cover, grille, etc)? an also how hard is it an how long would it take? also another thing off topic, does anyone no where to find front turn signal cover (it looks like scott has them)?

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

it all depends on if you use new parts or used parts, do it all at once or in pieces or have a shop do it or do it yourself.

[bboerstler5]

ok thanks. Do you have recommendations on where to look for a good deal? Do you know where to find turn signal cover that covers the signal an then follows the headlight line along the bottom?

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

what year is your jeep?

[Scottina06]

Hey Scott, how hard would it be to put a SRT8 rear bumper on my wk?! I wanna put some rear fog (clear) lights in there for the night off roading sessions and for reversing :)

very easy. Just swap the absorber and bumper cover. Youll also have to do something with your exhaust tip...a simple turn down tip will be all you need.

[Scottina06]

the bumper covers are pretty esy to find on here in the fs forums, on ebay or other sites. the install kit you will have to buy new. It includes the lower valance and support bars with all needed push pins etc. You cam buy the whole kit from justforjeeps.com

[bboerstler5]

i have a 2006.

[Scottina06]

vendor black ops auto works has them

[bboerstler5]

thanks scott, huge help i was looking forever. next question since this seems to be your expertise. Can I find the black insert pieces that are in your grille, or is it one solid piece an i have to get a whole new one?

[Scottina06]

you have to buy the whole grille....look on car-part.com under overland and srt8 grilles....05-07. It doesnt matter the color of the outside...as the mesh insert can be removed and placed on your grille....but they dont sell the mesh seperate.

[bboerstler5]

is the mesh, one solid insert, or is it multiple inserts like the stock one

[Scottina06]

one solid insert. The painted portion of the grille is just held on by small snap clips

[SvenskaJeepGuy]

is the mesh, one solid insert, or is it multiple inserts like the stock one
the stock insert is one solid piece as well.

[4.whoa]

Are the srt style roof rails as wide as the racks? my racks dug into the paint,will the srt's cover that?

[Scottina06]

nope...when I took mine off I had to do some work with some compounds to remove some marks

[4.whoa]

Well,crap mine must have been loose or something at some point,cause its DEEP.
Thanks,Scott :thumbsup:

[dandankler]

so to do the conversion its like 4k before wheels and tires and suspension? wow.....i should have paid the extra 12k:eek:

[No One]

Lets talk axle-shafts. Are the ones in the SRT8 different than what would be on QDII equipped WK. I looked at WKJeeps.com and I am not sure some of their info is correct. The site lists any WK with the 3.73:1 axle ratio is a Dana 44 rear axle with V8 and CRD engines. Is that right?

[David@AblazeGrilles]

heres a pic of mine with the front bumper. next step is to lower it.http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu191/dlakersg/ColorTouch-1316650278241-1.jpg

[clonedsrt8]

I have a white 2005 grand cherokee limited and it has the srt8 full body conversion with black 20" srt wheels. I can get a set of srt calipers loaded for a great price but was wondering where a good place was to find srt8 spindles. any help would be great. thanks in advance.

Hey Scott, I just picked up a set of OEM SRT8 wheels, but the parts #s are:

5290711AB
5290718AB

Is there any difference between mine and the ones listed above that end in AC? They are the newer style with the Alcoa Forged stamp.

[Scottina06]

if yours say "alcoa forged"...you have the better wheels in my opinion. Lots of owners that have the "alcoa forged db" have had trouble with the finish.

[jvs0302]

if yours say "alcoa forged"...you have the better wheels in my opinion. Lots of owners that have the "alcoa forged db" have had trouble with the finish.

Thanks for the quick reply. Mine just say "alcoa forged". I just did a little research and I see the db indicates if it has the durabrite finish, which mine don't. What was the difference between the two, is it supposed to be a protective finish?

[Scottina06]

its suppose to be a protective finish...but many have had problems with that finish staining, peeling etc.. I would rather have the non-durabrite finish myself.

Thanks for the help! I dont plan on doing the srt exhaust so i'm just concerned about keeping my tow capability. would i just need to purchase the srt hitch/drop hitch or are there any other supporting parts needed? connecting harnesses, brackets, extenders, etc.

[LokeDogg00]

Good thread! I read through the entire thing, as i was about to buy a cheaper jeep and do this conversion before i decided and pulled the trigger on the Srt.
